I have added a chart to a document (Excel.Chart.8) using the
Range.InlineShapes.AddOLEObject() interface. The chart happens to be inside a
content control. After saving and re-loading the document I then wish to
programatically modify the chart. If I attempt to access it using the
following code;

Word.InlineShape ils =
contentControl.Range.InlineShapes[1];
Word.OLEFormat of = ils.OLEFormat;

a "CO_E_OBJECTNOTCONNECTED" exception is thrown.

I have tried activating the control using ils.Application.Activate() or
ils.Activate() neither of which helps.

What am I doing wrong??

As often happens I have answered my own question...

Ralther than activating the InlineShape I needed to activate the OLEFormat
attribute.

of.Activate();
